I’m sorry. That answer wasn’t in the form of a question.

Get this Winger shit outta here.

Medication is nothing more than a standard inhaler (~$25-35). You will need to get a special hand-held chambered device called an aerokat (~$40) that you press to your cat’s face and spray the inhaler into so they actually receive the dosed amount. Dosage will be once every 12 or 24 hours, whatever is just enough to prevent the attacks. Works a treat. Oddly enough, the cat won’t mind sticking an inhaler device over his face for a handful of seconds as long as you pet him at the same time.

Oh, and if you record the event happening, it makes diagnosis a lot quicker. It’s pretty unmistakable.

Sorry I can’t help with the diagnosis cost. Those can vary so wildly where I live. That and I totally forgot how much that was

Looks like a brand called So Phresh. It’s 99% dust free and fragrance free. Seems to work OK. Full disclosure, my cat in question is indoor/outdoor so there are countless variables at play here. But it’s good litter as far as I can tell and I would prefer not to inhale that stuff myself.

Sure thing! It’s not as daunting as it may seem. We found that a single dose in the morning was sufficient and haven’t discovered him having any episodes in the past year, so that’s rad.

Every day. It’s a steroid so consistency is generally ideal. Missing a day here or there has occurred, but it was not desirable. Good question for the vet though. I am not a registered cat doctor

You might be underestimating how nutrient-rich a steady diet of salmon can be.

According to a ranger in Denali I spoke to: It depends on where the bears live in relation to the food. Coastal grizzlies are much larger because they have plentiful fat and protein sources like salmon. Inland grizzlies that live near glacial streams don’t have that food source and subsist on larger quantities of berries and the like and are noticeably smaller than their coastal counterparts.

So the food sources directly impact the sizes of the animals within the same species. The grizzly I saw in Denali appeared no larger than well-fed black bears I have encountered in the Sierra Nevada range. I say appeared, because it very well may have been larger. But it certainly didn’t look like the ones near the coast.

Kind of an answer, but I’m not a bear biologist.

SOP (like 99% sure). Many airports have parallel runways with more than enough clearance for two simultaneous landings. I have been a passenger in this scenario at least four times that I can think of, and I don’t fly that much. I think those were in Denver, SFO and LAX. I don’t recall there being any situation that would be considered an emergency on any of those.

Commander Mark was the boss. Never did have the guts to send my drawings to him in fear he wouldn’t show it during an episode.
